Cydia

Early Christmas Eve, saurik released version 1.1.9 of Cydia, which gets Cydia fully working on iOS 2-7. Although under the hood it's seen changes to run smoothly on iOS 7, the most obvious update is Cydia's visual change to iOS 7's style.

The visual overhaul receives a thank you from saurik to a few people: Surenix for the new tab bar icons, myself for the UI images (icons!), and Ryan Petrich for general UIKit help. And to Optimo for late night testing.

Not all aspects of Cydia are fully skinned to the iOS 7 style; these minor areas will be addressed in further updates. At this point, saurik wanted to make sure the updated client was released so work could focus on Mobile Substrate.

We sure have come a long way since February 2008, when Cydia was released as an alternative package manager to Installer.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful (because I am grateful, I can't do this on my own), but THIS is what so many people find aggravating!! Wasn't ready for the JB, still don't have a new MS, but look at the all the pretty colors and new icons that add absolutely nothing to usefulness or functionality of the program

You do sound rather ungrateful...saurik wasn't aware the jailbreak was going to be released when it was and for him to be able to get an updated verision of Cydia out as soon as he did (plus doing it so near xmas when I'm sure he'd rather be spending time with family and friends) I'm pretty surprised. Heck I'd rather see all the jb developers take a break and enjoy the holidays....but that's just me

Agreed. They appear as though they do nothing but work on JailBreak materials. They deserve more breaks, or at least for Christmas.
